I like Blender. His colorscheme and basic boxi-ness gives him a major Blaster vibe. Maybe we'll see him develop to be a rival for Soundwave?

 

Aoi

seeing as he will be from the giant planet hes goin to be f**kin huge next to sound wave

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yup

to tell the truth, i never expected Blender to be a decepticon. he just doesn't have the look for it when you compair him to Maul Dive.

We can thank the Japanese for that. There will always be a lot more Autobots because the Japanese people don't like buying the bad guys as much.

With the Cons being dumbasses on the shows, I can see why Japan hates em.

you need to only look at Brave Series to see an ideal japanese tf toyline: 1 main hero robot that looks like a mechanical samurai, serveral other robots that the main hero combines with, and no villians.

 

also, the cons being portrayed as dumbasses has nothing to do with the japanese's distaste for them: it's the fact that the cons, as bad guys, are destined to be defeated. in japan, failure is considered the ultimate disgrace to the point where japanese people will commit suicide in real life.

That reminds me of my first exposure to a purely Japanese imported robot toyline, Webdiver. I would've loved for a red virus I could fiddle with, but we only get the video game. Oh and...

SEPPUKU!

Mole Dive reminds me of the floating machine that helps megatron in Beast machines.  Both look great.

Reading the article in language, it would seem to be that Bullbull might actually be Bluebull (in reflection of his colour), sounds better to me than Bull-bull :P Kilibull might be Kiribull　（Kiri means Drill).

Is anyone else disappointed that Maul Dive is blue?  Maybe I'm weird, but I liked how the pink botcon proto looked. I mean how many pink transformers are there, atleast it would be different.

love those minicons...

 

but yup, will own em!
